0-60 mph - rank 'em
in order of impact on 0-60 mph performance, please rank the following in order of most impact on low end performance (0-60 mph time)
increasing compression
cam change
carb change
intake change
exhaust (headers and duals) change
ignition change
reducing gross vehicle weight
IMHO, increasing compression would be #1 but would like forum members to weigh in. guys always want to put in more radical cams, open exhaust, etc. but racers have always told me that mainly improves top end and "may" actually hurt your off the line performance. what say?

Kind of depends on the amount of change of each item. I kind of like reducing gross vehicle weight. Back in the day the key to low 0-60 times was the following....
Gears and tall tires
